Abstract | Cited by

The spontaneous formation of hexagonally organized, mesoscopic salt-bowls is reported here by a simple heating of manganous sulphate salt with a polyvinylpyrrolidone polymer. The crystallization of salt around the gas bubble during the decomposition of polymer leaves strikingly beautiful mesoscopic structures.
